Sir Christopher Wren

That this House recognises, on the 300th anniversary of his death, the life and achievements of Sir Christopher Wren, President of the Royal Society, including notably the design of over 50 churches in London, the Greenwich Hospital and the Wren Library, Trinity College, Cambridge; and agrees with his friend Robert Hooke that since the time of Archimedes there scarce ever met in one man in so great perfection such a mechanical hand and so philosophical mind.
